Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Eggs Affects 98 Individuals Across 17 States

Why it matters locally: Given Michigan's significant population and its proximity to Indiana, where the recalled eggs originated, there is a potential for some of the affected individuals to be in Michigan. Consumers in Michigan who have purchased eggs from Midwest Poultry Services should check for recall information.

Ninety-eight individuals in 17 states have contracted Salmonella since November, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported. Investigators have identified shell eggs recalled by Midwest Poultry Services as a probable source of the bacteria. The Indiana-based company's recalled eggs account for some, but not all, of the reported illnesses, investigators stated. The FDA continues its investigation into the outbreak.
